The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was all that I could do to keep from crying
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
But you don't have to call me darling darling
You never even call me by my name
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore
Even though your on my fightin' side
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing in the rain
No you don't have to call me darling darling
You never even call me by my name
Well you know me and the Possum Eatin' Cowboys
Have been playin' this song for a long time out there on the road
It's a touchin' little Steve Goodman number bout trains and trucks
And mamas and prison and gettin' drunk
So anyway me and the boys got together
And we asked Mr David Allen Coe And a few of our other heroes
If they wouldn't mind singin' with us on what has proven itself
To be the perfect country western song
Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing in the rain
No you don't have to call me darling darling
You never even call me I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name by my name
